Two very different reports of a recent appearance by representatives from the FBI's Art Theft Program at a gathering of the Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association. One report in the Santa Fe New Mexican said David Kice "drew laughs" when he asked for help identifying illicit artifacts.

Dace Hyatt argued the government "was clearly inducing felony charges with an erroneous value system". Another account from Kate Fitz Gibbon suggests the AP article had a more accurate depiction.
